Emily Blackwell

In 1856 Blackwell settled in New York City to work in her sister’s clinic. In 1857 the clinic became a hospital called the New York Infirmary for Women and Children. In 1868 the sisters opened the Women’s Medical College at the New York Infirmary. When Elizabeth moved to England in 1869, Emily Blackwell continued to run the hospital and the school on her own.
